apt4rpm
I'm using apt4rpm to automate monthly patching of Red Hat ProLiant servers.
How do I install (rpm -i) a new kernel using apt-get? If I use "apt-get install" or "apt-get upgrade" it will upgrade it instead. I want to install it so I can preserve the old kernel.
TIA,
Ross

Re: apt4rpm
I do a straight install on kernels.
The install process does this:
Installs the thing.
updates the grub.conf file and makes that kernel the default boot kernel.
So install is the way to go there.

If I use "apt-get install kernel" or "apt-get upgrade" it installs the new kernel but deletes the old kernel. Again, my question is how do you use apt-get to install the new kernel and keep the old one.
TIA,
Ross

Re: apt4rpm
I've gone through the two links, and say that now because it uses the rpm system. The rpm system leaves old kernels in place. They get left there when you use up2date, they get left there when you use yum.
The only ways to get rid of old kernels in the rpm system is to manually remove the components and edit the files or use the rpm -e on the kernel you want to dissappear.
I recommend the install option. I also recommend a system backup before any work of this kind. The doc did not say it, but they easily could have written an rpm -e statement into either process.
Thanks for posting the documentation.
